Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

I've been building a couple of Invictus (Invicti?), a standard (color scheme chosen by popular demand a while back in a poll) and an UL Ghost version. As I near the end of a build, I tend to concentrate on one sail more than the other, so here is the results of the completed Std. version with color scheme chose by vote.

As I get better at building kites, I find that I worry more about accuracy in my stitching, which has resulted in what may be my most accurate build to date.

Still have some work to do on the Ghost... leading edges and the small details like the spine strap and such. Frame and bridle are complete and waiting for the finished sail. I'll post pics of that version later on.

Hi Sugarbaker a great build. Uber workmanship. I like the black stripe on the seams,it gives the panels good definition. The photo of the nose has got me puzzled. Is the spine in a tunnel or is that an illusion from the photography. Again, another great self build. Mike

I have a question how long the tubes You have used the LE?I had to use a little longer + /-3cm

My tubes were exactly as the plan called for. Did you print a full size plan or tape together a plan and templates from the A4 size print outs? I know in the past, when I have used the taped together method of plan printing, I have had variation in frame size. The other issue that may come up is how accurately you attach the two haves (or any of the sail for that matter). I strive for accuracy through my entire build, and I have definitely seen better results as I gain experience (have built about 20 kites now).
